Conair’s Dorm Room Essentials Review and Giveaway

Conair’s Dorm Room Products

I was fortunate enough to receive the exciting opportunity to review both the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer and the Complete Steam Portable Steamer!

Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer

Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer

My hair is very fine, straight, and becomes visibly oily without a daily wash, so I need to use a blow dryer every day if I don’t let them dry naturally. I’ve definitely gone through a number of blow dryers throughout the past years! Some that were either very loud and powerful, too heavy and bulky, or small, portable, and quite mighty for their size. I tend to prefer blow dryers that are lightweight and compact, but remain powerful and not irritatingly loud on the ears. The Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer delivers just that and more!

3Q Midsize Blow Dryer Features & Benefits

Heat Protect Brushless Motor Technology

Ultra-Fast Drying: provides up to 70% more air pressure, compared to other Conair DC motor hair dryers.

Built to last: use of magnets and electronics provide up to 5,000 hours of life vs. 500 hours for a standard AC motor hair dryer.

Ionic ceramic technology: provides infrared heat to gently dry hair.

Frizz Defense: conditioning ions help to enhance shine and reduce frizz up to 75%.

Seeing as I wash my hair every day, I’ve also been using the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer every day for the past two weeks, and absolutely loved it! The blow dryer with its Ionic Ceramic technology and Frizz Defense has been leaving my hair feeling very soft and smooth, even at the highest heat and speed settings. Not to mention it also hasn’t left my hair feeling horribly dry at the tips! Woohoo! It definitely is quite the compact but mighty hair styling tool! And for such a powerful blow dryer, I was surprised to discover that it wasn’t very loud, either. Something I particularly found myself appreciating during those early mornings. Let’s face it, nobody wants to be woken up at 6:30 AM because a family member is using a loud blow dryer! With the Patent-Pending Design from the Infinity Pro 3Q, which helps reduce noise, this was never an issue. My family would sleep easily throughout my drying sessions.

Its compact size also makes it perfect for travelling! I brought it with me on vacation and it fit perfectly in my suitcase without taking up too much room! The Ultra-Fast Drying technology is also a major thumbs up from me! My hair is so fine that it usually takes up to 15 minutes of drying time after I’ve just stepped out of the shower, but with the Infinity Pro 3Q, it has taken me less than 10 minutes to fully dry my hair! I’ve definitely placed those spare minutes in the morning to good use!

The only very small downside I found is that when using the diffuser, I felt very little air being diffused through it, even at the highest drying speed, and it took much longer than it usually does to dry my fine hair. Thus, I’ve stuck with using the concentrator without any issues! In addition, be sure to keep the provided filter cleaning brush in a handy location. It works incredibly well to clean off the accumulated dust and lint from the blow dryer filter.

Now the big question is: would I recommend the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Blow Dryer? Absolutely! It’s compact but powerful size makes it perfect for travelling and living away in a dorm. The 3Q Dryer retails at $119.

Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer

Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer

I’ll be honest: until receiving the Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer for review, I had never in my life used a steamer before! My clothes have either always been ironed by yours truly or sent away for dry cleaning if necessary. Goodness, I have truly been missing out on an incredibly useful little gadget these past years! You can’t iron drapes, sofas, and certain fabrics, but you can most certainly steam them!

Helpful tip: No more than 145 ml of water can be added into the tank, and the steamer can only be used for up to five minutes at a time, or if the tank becomes empty prior to five minutes of use. Before adding more water, the water remaining inside the tank must no longer be steaming.

What I immediately appreciated upon unboxing the steamer is just how easy it is to use. The instructions are clearly written on the sheets provided inside the box, and they even offer detailed steps on how to steam various fabrics! This was incredibly helpful when steaming my new but very wrinkly duvet cover set. Unfortunately, it could not be dewrinkled with the use of traditional ironing, but they could be steamed out! After a few repeated uses, the results shown below demonstrated how efficiently and how wonderfully this compact portable steamer truly is!

Its lightweight and compact size also makes it perfect for travelling purposes. Especially as a student! Nobody wants to lug around an ironing board and a clothes iron with them, or have to deal with storing them away in a small dorm room. Much less having to share with an entire floor of student. This portable steamer is the perfect solution for those wrinkly school clothes! Plus it takes less than one minute for the water to begin steaming! Barely any waiting time means that steaming away wrinkles from your favourite shirt before class is now easier and quicker than ever! The best perk about owning a Complete Steam Portable Steamer certainly has to be fewer trips to the dry cleaner! Steaming your own fabrics will in the long-run save you time and, most importantly, money!

I can’t wait to begin steaming out my bedroom drapes at home now that I’ve steamed my duvet cover set! The Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer retails from $29.99-$49.9 and is available in pink, blue, and purple.

To be honest I am having a really hard time deciding which item I would like best – I really love them both. I do have a pretty good hair dryer, although I would love to gift my mom the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer because it sounds perfect for her and her hair dryer just broke this week. But overall I guess I would say I would like the Complete Steam Portable Steamer the best because it would be super handy for all the traveling we do and I think I would end up using it quite a bit! I don’t like ironing, so a steamer seems like a great alternative.

I would like the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer the most. My hairdryer works for a few minutes and then turns itself off so I think it either overheats or there is a loose connection in the switch.

I would love the steamer because I have bamboo sheets that are always so wrinkly when they come out of the dryer and I hate ironing. Also, I know my oldest son would appreciate it so he wouldn’t have to iron his work shirts so much.

The Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer because mine is on its last legs. I’d love to have the Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer! However honestly I’d never take it with me anywhere. I never have enough room in my suitcase as it is. 🙂

I’m am most excited about the portable steamer because I too have never used/had anything like it before. I would be able to de-wrinkle our clothes without the hassle of an iron and ironing board – so convenient and handy!

I would really love the Conair Infinity Pro 3Q Midsize Blow Dryer; my current blow dryer is about the kick the bucket and I really like Conair products. I could also make use of the Conair Steamer; we have had wildfire smoke invade our city all summer long and its been getting into all the curtains, linens, furniture, etc.

I could use both, my current hair dryer is pretty crummy but I would love the Conair Complete Steam Portable Steamer because I buy a lot of dresses online & they always come really wrinkly from shipping!
